THE ORGANIZATION DOES THIS THROUGH VARIOUS PROGRAMS FROM STUDENT AND FAMILY FUND RAISING (SEES CANDY DRIVE, CAR WASHES, MOVIE NIGHTS AND CHILI COOK-OFF JUST TO NAME A FEW), COMMUNITY FESTIVALS ALONG WITH VENTURA COUNTY FAIR. STUDENTS AND PARENTS WORK DILIGENTLY TO HELP KEEP MUSIC PROGRAMS ALIVE AND VIBRANT IN A TIME WHEN SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO NOT HAVE FUNDS TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THESE LIFE SKILL PROGRAMS. APPROXIMATELY 280 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE MUSIC PROGRAM FROM MARCHING BAND TO ORCHESTRA ENSEMBLE. THIS REPRESENTS MORE THAN 10% OF THE 2,000 MEMBER STUDENT POPULATION OF BUENA HIGH SCHOOL. THE PROGRAM HELPED TO FUND OVER 194,000 IN DISTRICT COSTS - BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT - THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO THE SCHOOL OR STUDENTS.

THE OTHER FESTIVALS, FAIRS AND PARADES BOOST THIS NUMBER TO JUST UNDER 600,000 GENERAL POPULATION.

FOR THE SECOND DAY, THE STUDENTS ENJOYED THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY WITH ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S MOST RENOWNED HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC PROGRAMS AT RANCHO BERNARDO HIGH SCHOOL. THE BUENA MUSIC STUDENTS PRACTICED AND PERFORMED WITH THIS STELLAR GROUP FOR 3 AND 1/2 HOURS. THE STUDENTS LEFT ENERGIZED AND THRILLED WITH THE EXPERIENCE. ON THE THIRD DAY, THE STUDENTS VISITED THE MUSEUM OF MAKING MUSIC IN CARLSBAD, CA. THIS MUSEUM IS DEDICATED TO PRESERVING AND SHOWCASING MUSIC INSTRUMENTS AND PRODUCTS.
